Ortofon Hi-Fi SPU Classic NE Moving Coil Cartridge

The Ortofon Hi-Fi SPU Classic NE is a Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an elliptical stylus profile and provides more detailed sound reproduction and expansive imaging. The Classic NE can be used with vintage SPU-type headshells to recreate an authentic and functional SPU cartridge.

The SPU Classic NE is sold without the integrated headshell unit. Vintage SPU-type headshells are no longer available.

Listeners who wish to mount the SPU Classic NE on a traditional head shell may do so by using the Ortofon SPU N adaptor.
